Feeding Bees in May.

Large quantities of brood are reared
in this month, and after the red buds
of the soft maple have put forth their
heads there will be plenty of natural
pollen for the bees to gather. If there
are no naples in your immediate vicin-
ity, take some unbolted rye-oaur, mix
it with saw-dust or cut straw and set
in sunny corner, sheltered from the
wind, when. if the bees require it, they
will carry it freely. In localities where
there is honey in the blossoms at this
season, the bees will gather it very
rapidly, and the more honey they get
the faster the stock increases. Where
there are not enough honey-producing
flowers, by all means feed, at the en-
trance, say about a gill of hot feed
every night. BY feeding thus, your
stocks will increase very rapidly, and
when the honey commences to flow,
you Will haye strong stocks to gather it.
Again, should there be honey In the
blossoms, and cold and wintry weather
set in, feed as above, for should the
weather continue cold, the bees would
naturally commence to destroy the
work already accomplished, by
tearing put and destroying the hatch
ing brood. If you keep your bees for
increase alone, feed them every night,
and continue to do SO until honey can
be gathered in abundance. american

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Michael Fry. at 4S7 Fifth avenue,
is great rabbit breeder andh as prob
ably not less that fifty rabbits.
Some of them he allows to run through
his kitchen and cellar, and Fry was
astonished the other day to find that
one of the "bonnies" had great pro-
pensity for lager beer. One of the
beer barrels IN the cellar leaked, and
the little bonnie was observed to be
standing on his hind legs and sucking
the beverage from the barrel. Since
then Mr.. Fry and his children have
honored the animal and given it beer
often. 1t can now drink about ten or
fifteen saucers OF beer day, and has
never shown any signs OF being drunk,
nor does the beer seem to affect the
rabbit in any other way. A rabbit
has hitherto never been known to be
beer-drinker, and it appears that
this is the only one, as Mr.. Fry's
other rabbits don't touch it. Little
Bonnie never requires any coaxing to
take to the beverage. AS soon as a
cup or sauceris filled. put on the floor,
somebody calls: "Here Bonnie, is
your beer" the little animal at once
pricks up it's ears, and espying the
drink, Immediately jumps toward it.
The saucer will be emptied in a few
minutes, and Bonnie lifts upits head,
looking at the donor with look that
evidently means "more,,"

Some Singular Suicides.

An incident occurred in Salem yes
terday which likely will not be repeat
ed in half dozen centuries. An Eng
lish sparrow was building a nest IN
the poarch of Mr.. E. A. Ebert's resi-
dence, and carried string to the nest,
and had it partially woven in when it
attempted to fly, and by some means
the other end of the string became en-
tangled around its head, and held it
fast tethered by the neck. The help
less little creature became frightened
and Huttered and struggled in vain to
free itself. The miniature moose only
closed tighter about its throat till final
ly it dropped dead-hung by the neck
as neatly as human hand could have
done it. The incident, which probably
has not duplicate in history, recalls
one of somewhat similar character
with regard to horse. He was grazing.
and had on halter with short rein
dangling from his head. The horse $
tail was short and stubby. and in throw
ing his head around to scare of fly
the bridle-rein got hitched over the
tail. The horse, finding his head fas-
tened, became excited, gave violent
Jerk of his head, which broke his neck
and resulted in instant death. - WINSTON

Some Advice to Wives.

Remember that you are married to a
man and not to a god; be prepared for
imperfections.
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are ''only a woman" !;
if you were not he would not care about
you.
Once in while let your husband
have the last word; it will CRAFTY him
and be no particular loss to you.
Be reasonable; it is a great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but do
try; reasonable women are rare-he
rare.
Remember that servants are made OF
the same material as you are; little
coarser grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you;
he will then probably do the reverse.
Let him read the newspaper at the
breakfast table; it is unsociable. but
then, it is only a trifle, after all, and
he likes it.
Let him know more than you do
once in while; it keeps up his self
respect, and you are none the worse
for admitting that you are not actually
infallible.
Read something in the papers beside
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge of what is going on
in foreign countries.
Be companion to your husband if
he is a wise man; and il he is not, try
to make him become your companion.
Raise his standard, do not let him low
Ell yours.
Respect your husbands relations,
especially his mother-she is none the
less his mother because she is your
mother-in-law; she loved him before
you did.-Brooktyn Magazine.

Not the Editor to Fool With.

We dislike to discuss family matters
In our columns, as everybody knows
but the story JEFF Tarleton is telling
around town about our difficulty the
other night is lie such as nobody but
q dirty coyote would be guilty of. We
have heard of him and his casing at
Dan Geeghen's saloon. The facts are
that we told this red-headed SLOUGH to
stop keeping company with our daugh-
ter. When We returned home that
night about Il O'Clock we found him
just leaving our front porch. There
were words, and We will admit that we
called him a greasy tramp. Then he
made a pass for us and we grabbed
him by the whiskers, and when he
broke away we kicked him in the small
OF the back, and the only regret now
is that we did not break his backbone.
The lie that he tells is that we drew q
gun, which he snatched and then ran
us in the house. Nobody saw the
fracas, and of course he can lie, but
John Hapgood, across the way, heard
the salute that We gave him as he
clawel the gravel down the street.
Don't come our way again, Jefferson.

months 100000 were recovered, be-
sides some silver; after which the
work was abandoned. In 1914 it was
resumed, and kept up for seven years,
the result being the recovery OF a few
paltry pieces of silver. In 1922 a COM
pany was formed for the purpose OF
making further search for the miss
ing money, the Dutch government
advancing the Company sum of
money on condition that it should
have half of the find. Several thous-
and pounds were spent in the work.
but nothing was recovered. BY this
time the wreck had become deeply
imbedded in the sand and was extreme
" difficult to reach by the divers. In
1857 the search was again begun by
other spectators. After several years
of persistent effort over f25,000 were
recovered. In 1871 special act of
parliament was passed authorizing the
Lloyds to continue this work and these
contracts with the Dutch government.
But l have not heard that anything
more has been recovered. Possibly in
years to come violent storm may
shift the bed of sand now covering the
old wreck and afford better facilities
for the divers.
"a parallel case was that of the
Thetis, British frigate, which was
wrecked on the coast of Brazil i'll 1880
with f162, 900 of bullion on board.
The hull went to pieces, leaving the
| specie in five or six fathoms of water.
For eighteen months the admiral at
the Brazil station and the captains and
crews of four sloops-of-war were en-
gagged hunting for the treasure, So
great was the danger that four lives
we're lost It is known that a good
| part of the treasure was recovered
from the fact that in the disputes and
litigation resulting from the find the
court of admiralty awarded Ell, 900
and the privy council f29.0OO, with
e25, 800 for expenses.
